Ardozyga hedana is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Turner in 1919. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from southern Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are whitish closely irrorated with purple-grey, the markings reddish-brown mixed with fuscous. There are three ill-defined fuscous spots on the basal third of the costa, the surrounding area suffused with reddish brown. A subdorsal spot is found at three-fourths, a discal spot slightly beyond it at two-thirds, and two terminal spots above and below the middle. The hindwings are whitish, becoming pale-grey towards the apex.[2]
